just a few weeks ago we learned that pope benedict xvi will be stepping down. i am reminded of a different pope, pope john xxiii. a long time ago he met george at the vatican. george was having a president kennedy's food for peace program. pope john shook george mcgovern's hand, looked him in the eye, and said, when you meet your maker and he asks, did you feed the hungry? you can say, yes i did. george mcgovern could say that 1000 times over. so can the millions of men and women and children whose farms and ranches and laboratories feed our families, even when we do not always realize or knowledge it. by continuing to plow ahead, develop agricultural policies and innovative ways big and small, so in deed can all of us. thank you. good to chat with you this morning. [applause] >> so, we have had three great addresses this morning. giving us the outlook, the secretary challenging us in terms of human risks we can manage. and senator daschle. really giving us an overwhelmingly moving tribute and challenge to american agriculture. a lot of fodder for thought. now,
